15 September

It was a day well spent in cleaning the beach adjacent to our college.

It all started with a teleconference call from the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi. He addressed schools, colleges, self-help groups which had participated in cleanup drives and listened to their experiences. Eminent personalities like Mr. Amitabh Bacchan and Mr. Ratan Tata also spoke to the Prime Minister. Our Chancellor, Amma, who also spoke to the Prime Minister decided to organize a clean-up drive at the beach as a part of the “Swachhata hi Seva – 2018”.

The Clean-up 

The students were sorted into groups and given different spots on the beach. Everyone, including the co-ordinators, participated enthusiastically in the drive. We worked hard and collected about 10 trucks of waste, which would later be sorted by the students in the sorting group. Foreigners who lived at the ashram also stepped in to support us. We sorted the waste collected and sent it for recycling.

Small fraction of the collected

Sort.. Sort .. Sort..

Sorting continues

More waste incoming…

My Experience

I was part of the sorting group. I was shocked to see the amount of waste that came in, there were different types of waste that we sorted for four long hours. I realized how negligent we were towards nature. The clean-up drive was undoubtedly an eye-opener for all of us. I think it will certainly bring about a change in the way all the students of our university in terms of waste management and make proper use of the waste management system that is in our Ashram.

Kudos to all the seniors and coordinators who took up the initiative of organizing this event and making us aware of our responsibilities that we were being negligent of. I look forward to participating in many more activities of this sort….

Hello readers,

Let me introduce myself to you…..

I’m just a regular 17 year old guy from Hyderabad,  nothing too extraordinary to speak of myself. I’m in my freshman year of college studying Computer Science, in Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Kerala. I’m a tech geek except for the fact that I play a lot of sports as well.

I’m an avid reader of blogs on Technology , particularly on Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning. I’d love to research on the same as well. I’d like to blog on the technical stuff I am doing and will be doing in the coming days.

Talking about non-technical stuff, I do quite a bit of gardening, we have a beautiful kitchen garden. I’m a gourmand too. I love to eat different varieties of food and read about its historical background. I am a Biryani lover, pretty sure every Hyderabadi can relate to that, it is and will always be my favourite. I also occasionally cook, you might get my recipes in my future posts!! Stay tuned.

By the way, People call me Subhash.
